Zi Su moved quickly, and Lin Shan and Cai He followed him one after another, running up the mountain wall next to them, using a crooked-necked tree that grew out of a crack in the mountain to temporarily avoid the swarm of mountain rats.
However, what horrified them was that these mountain rats could actually leap. Although the leap distance was not very high, it still posed a threat to the safety of the four people.
At the same time, they could easily eat stones, quickly gnawed out of the steps, and chased the four of them towards Lin Shan.
"They are not looking for revenge on us, are they?" Lin Shan couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard the crunching sounds.
"They regard us as food." Zi Su said solemnly, looking around and saying: "It's not safe here. They will rush over soon. We have to leave quickly."
"There is no place to hide here. I will use my flying sword to take everyone out." Lin Shan said.
Zisu nodded and said, "That's fine, you take Qinghan away first, and I'll stay behind."
"It's too late now. We must go together." Lin Shan looked at the speed of the mountain rats. They were simply too fast. Seeing that they were only a few dozen meters away, he estimated that they would be able to reach here with just one more leap.
"Feijian is so big, how can we go together?" Zi Su asked with a frown.
"Two people are on the flying sword, and the other two are hanging under the flying sword with ropes. Although it is dangerous, it is better than letting the mountain rats eat it." Lin Shan thought for a while and said.
"Aunt, don't hesitate. You and Lin Shan stand on top of the flying sword, while Aunt Caihe and I hang below." Wenren Qinghan said anxiously.
At this moment, several mountain rats leaped towards us, and Zisu immediately swung his whip and beat them out hard.
Just a few snapping sounds were heard, and several mountain rats exploded in the air, with flesh and blood splattering out.
"Let's go!" The situation was urgent, and Zi Su had no time to hesitate. She jumped on Feijian and was hugged by Lin Shan's waist again.
The flying sword flew out, and at the same time a rope was thrown over. Wenren Qinghan and Caihe grabbed the rope together.
When the mountain rats saw the fat flying from their mouths, they were naturally unwilling to give in. They flew over from the cliff one after another, opening their mouths and making fierce gestures of biting.
Zi Su was merciless, and the whip in one hand made a crisp sound. The skin and flesh of dozens of mountain rats were immediately torn open, and blood splattered everywhere.
But taking advantage of this moment, Lin Shan had already run away with his flying sword.
The mountain rats pursued them frantically at first, but were soon left behind and no trace could be seen again.
"What a risk! If you fall into a swarm of rats, your body will definitely be gone." Thinking of the densely packed group of mountain rats just now, and the scene of tens of millions of mountain rats gnawing at the mountain wall together, Lin Shan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
"Luckily you have a flying sword!" Although Zi Su was curious about how Lin Shan could control the flying sword, he didn't feel like asking more.
Originally, with Lin Shan's cultivation level, it was absolutely impossible to control a flying sword, let alone fly with a sword.
"Lin Shan, the fork in the road is here, should we turn?" At this moment, Wen Ren Qinghan, who was hanging below, said.
"Yes, this is what is shown on the map." Lin Shan looked at the surrounding terrain, then compared it with the map in his mind. After confirming that it was correct, he turned into the small canyon next to it.
"Find a place to put us down." Zi Su said coldly.
"Okay." Lin Shan has long been accustomed to Zi Su's coldness, so naturally he won't be as knowledgeable as her, let alone regard himself as a savior.
By a stream in a small canyon, Lin Shan lowered his height, and then Zi Su jumped in first.
Lin Shan looked at Zi Su who was a little eager to escape from his arms, and couldn't help but smile to himself.
Although Zi Su concealed it very well, Lin Shan had already sensed her awkwardness, and he knew even more clearly why she was awkward.
Immediately afterwards, Wenren Qinghan and Caihe released the rope together and landed safely on the ground.
Lin Shan took out the spiritual crystal and nourished Feijian.
Now Feijian still needs to absorb the energy of the spiritual crystals, but Mu Guanyin will send him a batch of them through red envelopes every once in a while, so there is no need to worry about not having enough.
"Let's keep walking, be careful." Seeing Lin Shan descending, Zi Su seemed to not want to meet him, so she rushed forward first.
The four of them walked along the stream of the canyon until they reached the end of the stream. A vast mountain lay in front of them, blocking their way.
"There is no way, how to go now?" Caihe looked around in surprise, and then looked at Lin Shan.
Half of the map appeared in Lin Shan's mind again. He studied it, pointed to the halfway point of the mountain, and said: "There should be a thousand-year-old tree above the clouds. There is a hole next to the ancient tree. Let's
Enter the cave and there is a mechanism inside..."
"Let's go up first and then talk. Well...Lin Shan, you send me up with a flying sword." Although he was very reluctant, he had to admit that the flying sword was very fast.
Now Zi Su is anxious to enter the tenth secret realm, so she no longer cares about the details.
"Okay." Lin Shan agreed, then turned to look at Wenren Qinghan and said, "I'll pick you up in a moment."
"Go and pay attention to safety." Wenren Qinghan said.
Lin Shan nodded, then controlled the flying sword again and flew up with Zi Su.
"There really is an ancient tree!" Above the clouds, a huge ancient tree appeared in front of us. The crown of the tree covered almost half of the mountain peak, which was very spectacular.
"Look, there." Lin Shan swept along the ancient trees and soon discovered a cave entrance hidden behind weeds and vines.
If it weren't for the map guide, it would be really difficult to find it.
Stepping on the flying sword and approaching, Zisu cleared away the vines and then got in: "You go pick up Qinghan and Caihe. I'll go inside first to explore the situation."
"Pay attention to safety..." Lin Shan subconsciously warned.
But Zisu had already gone into the cave, but it was certain that she must have heard it.
When Caihe and Wenren Qinghan were picked up, Zisu was already waiting for them at the entrance of the cave: "I just took a look, and there should be formations inside. It feels very similar to the mechanism in the secret room under the pond in the old house.
Similar, you two will take out the mandarin duck pendants later to see if there is any connection?"
Lin Shan and Wen Renqinghan nodded, and then each took out the mandarin duck pendants they were wearing.
The four of them walked into the cave together, but the mandarin duck pendant no longer worked.
However, Tai Ah Feijian made a new discovery: "Lin Shan, the aura of the Nether Demon Blade has appeared again."
"Oh? Where is it?" Lin Shan asked quickly.
"Did you see the dark shadow-like place under the candlestick? But if I read it correctly, there should be a teleportation formation there, and the breath of the magic blade came from there." Tai'a Feijian said.
.
"Okay, you should pay attention to the aura of the Nether Demon Blade at any time." Lin Shan told Tai Ah Feijian in his mind, and then said to Zi Su: "Aunt, there seems to be something wrong with the shadow under the candlestick..."
